When HIFTBSO first came out I bought it and scanned through each
track...not really finding anything that stuck out as great. I listened to
the cd like 2 times then put it away. I was pissed that the cd sucked. A
few months later when my entire world seemed to turn upside down, I started
to listen to the songs a little closer and they started to grow on me as I
found meaning in them. Sure I miss Diary and LP2. But I think I got over
that. Whoever said that AC/DC put out the same albulm over and over was
right. It would be a shame to have the same thing happen with SDRE. Even
though part of the fun was trying to figure out exactly what Jeremy was
saying.
The first time I listened to the ocean, I didn't like it. It took me about
5 times to really start to like it. Now I love the song. To me, I think
it means that you can't let the end result of a bad relationship get you
down. The line "Deep in the ocean there lies a wave for you" is like
saying "There are other fish in the sea"
These are just my views, right or wrong they are mine.
